Recently I’ve published blog post Subscription Level Deployment Schema. When I published it I was not aware that not so many people know what the schemas are used and needed for. With this blog post I want to address this.

Optimizing Your Log Analytics Logs Blade
Microsoft recently release the new Logs experience with this also removing the link to the Advanced Analytics Portal which was separate portal. My friend and fellow MVP Stefan Roth opened a e-mail discussion to some of us asking if there is a way to reach his workspace again from the Advanced Analytics Portal as that portal offered cleaner experience where Logs is a little bit cluttered due to being general portal for Azure services. I had some tips on how to use better the Logs experience in Azure Portal and my friend and fellow MVP Cameron Fuller thought that we should share this with the community thus this blog post.
It Is Time to Erase OMS Acronym From Your Dictionary
As I still see people confused and not informed about OMS I’ve decided to write this blog post and lay my thoughts around the end of OMS.
If you are not sure what is OMS that is ok and you do not necessary need to know but if you are curious you should check out my blog post What is OMS and a Brief History of It.

But besides that there are actually way more changes some of which happened at Ignite others were happening for quite some time.

The topic is a little bit complex so I hope my explanation will help you understand it.

Platform Image Azure Policy Definition Example
Azure Policy team has a GitHub repository of Policy definitions examples. Recently I’ve been looking at some of the examples there and I’ve noticed that one of them was not working correctly. Specifically I am referring to Platform Image Policy. Additionally the example contains only the rules. It does not have ARM template for deploying the definition. You will notice also that the policy is pretty static as it does not contain parameters. Because of that based on that sample I would like to create an example on my own and show it to you.
